    550sx to 750 "All or Nothing" build

    Next up was chamfering the port edges of the freshly bored cylinder. I also gasket matched the exhaust ports, and widened the bottom half of the exhaust ports a tiny bit. That'll bring in a tad more bottom oomph.

    550sx to 750 "All or Nothing" build

    I decided to get the grinding out of the way today. Most jet pumps can benefit from casting cleanup, the rough water hookup is noticeably improved. I knocked this pump out in about 45 minutes. I do a full 'blueprint' on my personal machines which can take 4-5 times that long. Check out that pile...

    550sx to 750 "All or Nothing" build

    I also put the flap disc in the angle grinder and cleaned up the "PWCr" conversion exhaust manifold. This kind of stuff bothers me on a custom build. It looks much nicer with the casting smoothed out. And I also added some 'adjustment' for the exhaust chamber mounting.

    550sx to 750 "All or Nothing" build

    I took advantage of the warm(er) weather and washed a bunch of parts today. I don't know what that whitish residue was on the hoses but I had to scotchbrite that crap off.

    550sx to 750 "All or Nothing" build

    New waterbox came yesterday. Anybody recognize it? Super lightweight, unbaffled, no markings of any kind. Oem fiberglass only has 1-5/16" inlet and 1-1/2" outlet ID. This one has 1-5/8 ID on both. I know that doesn't sound like much difference, but that's a 17% increase in sectional...

    When to Rebuild Your Engine?

    With that amount of hours the piston slap will be common on ANY 2 stroke. It's not just a Kawi thing. The quality oil you ran had a big part in that. I have 2 different customers with 951di Seadoos that have 500ish hours and never been apart. That engine is well known to start rattling at around...

    When to Rebuild Your Engine?

    Tech tip.......check color of spark plugs regularly. If you know what they're SUPPOSED to look like, it's a lot easier to spot potential problems BEFORE you window the case!

    Custom/Hybrid Where to find custom silicon/rubber exhaust piping

    A stock VXR Pro or WR3 hose should be plenty long enough to get from the waterbox up to the new exhaust outlet. Then you'd only need maybe a 180 aluminum pipe bend.

    Are you wanting a custom fit cover, or just a cover to keep it out of the elements?

    When to Rebuild Your Engine?

    What I've seen through the years on stock (ish) 2 strokes.....IF, they've been winterized (stored) properly, AND, never deprived of oil... top ends......typically 150-200 hours run time. cranks....300-400 hours run time. There are exceptions but of the couple hundred I've rebuilt for customers...

    Super Jet Broke college student SN superjet

    Where are u at with this? I would mic out the top end of the 61x. Might be fine to hone and rering without breaking the bank.

    550sx to 750 "All or Nothing" build

    Found a few stressed areas but nothing real bad. Easy fixes since I'm doing glasswork anyway.

    Paypal sucks

    Normally the POS scam artists access your stuff though e-mail. NEVER open anything related to your banking/finances through e-mail. If you see something, go directly to the site and sign in and check on stuff. I don't know how many times through the years I've had various finance related stuff...
